查看當(dāng)前字符集

引用
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter like '%SET%';

PARAMETER                      VALUE

------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
NLS_CHARACTERSET               WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET         AL16UTF16

 

引用
SQL> select userenv('language') from dual;

USERENV('LANGUAGE')
----------------------------------------------------
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

嘗試直接修改字符集

引用
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ZHS16GBK;
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET ZHS16GBK
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12712: new character set must be a superset of old character set

采用Oracle內(nèi)部命令修改字符集（

注意：此流程僅用于測試，在Oracle 10g中建議用CSALTER修改！
）
